An animal rights group successfully persuaded the online behemoths to stop selling supplements that contain ejiao — a substance made from donkey hides and typically used in Chinese products — The Post has learned.

Ejiao is used to treat a variety of conditions, including bleeding, dizziness, insomnia and dry cough.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals claims that ejiao is obtained from donkeys that are cruelly killed in China for their hides and that a number of other US companies that use the supplement in candies, snacks, and beauty products have also agreed to drop the ingredient.

“We have recently removed several listings for these items, and we are adding this term to our filters in order to better detect future attempts to list these products,” eBay regulatory executive Mike Carson wrote in a recent e-mail to PETA.

Walmart-owned Jet.com, also ditched some products that had the ingredient.

“We have removed the items you flagged that contain ejiao,” wrote a spokewoman for Jet.com in an e-mail to PETA.
